Crisis Averted: Deandre Ayton returning to Phoenix is a win for the Suns
The Deandre Ayton situation felt like it had been going on for a decade.
On the fourteenth day of his free agency journey, the Indiana Pacers awarded him with a 4-year maximum offer sheet.
It did not take long for the Suns to match. In fact, it will probably take you longer to read this far in the article than it did for Phoenix to formally match the offer sheet. It took them a grand total of three minutes of being “on the clock” to submit their decision to match.
The timeframe from when the Suns received the offer sheet from Indiana and then matched said offer was about three minutes.
